Closed munen closed 1 week ago
Could perhaps benefit from the features I have on my PR, i.e. removing context, highlighting context, dedicated context buffer, etc? I think those don't really conflict with the vision of this library just so long as they are opt-in & customizable, which isn't the current state in my PR.
@munen A pretty expansive version of this feature has now been added, thanks to @daedsidog's efforts. Please let me know after trying it if it's missing any features you might want. If you have trouble finding/using the available features (after updating gptel), that will also serve as very useful feedback for us.
I will close this now, but I'm looking forward to how you find the feature, so please let us know in this thread!
Hi @karthink
Coming back to our short discussion 5 hours ago.
Maybe I'm just an old, grumpy dude, but those commercial offerings that I checked out didn't hold their water. Cody was quite OK, but I didn't get it to work with my LLM API keys (for example OpenAI). It does work well with Claude 2.0 and ollama, though.
Having said so, I prefer the functionality of gptel. I appreciate that it has a small and simple API surface which nonetheless includes all actually interesting interaction patterns. When adding Emacs and the GPL into the mix, it's a hard to beat mixture. There was only one important feature missing for me, so I built it. Couldn't have done that to any of those proprietary systems(;
Thank you for your effort and wonderful project :pray: :bow:
Happy to hear :+1: Maybe you'll like this implementation of attaching context. I tried to keep the implementation small, but flexible. I don't have much experience using it, so far, but I did dogfood on this PR from the very beginning(; Also, I'm looking very much forward to using it to tackle some bigger projects next week.
Agreed. I think it's hard to do with the chat APIs. In my tests of the proprietary alternatives, they also didn't really yield better results than actually using the chat modality (when given enough context). So I don't mind intentionally omitting this this feature.
That's a smart choice! Apart from time, these AI based projects tend to have a lot of feature creep and a short half-life. I appreciate your effort to keeping this maintainable while at the same time making it all the more usable. Thank you :pray:
Thank you for your kind words :pray: I didn't have too much time for FOSS lately, but this time was needed so that I can come back to it again in the long term. I'm looking forward to that time!
